Bike Fit

To ride as comfortably and efficiently as possible, your bike needs to fit you. It needs to be the right size for your overall height and the length of your legs and torso.

How do you know if your bike is fitted correctly? Ask yourself these questions:

Do you always have to scoot forward or backward on your seat? Your handlebar stem may be too short or too long, pulling you forward or requiring you to push backward, or your saddle may need to be leveled and centered.
